the samy aud a Garree ey Smer ad carcbors,
You will remember that Mr. Upton has been obtaining figures
for you on Electric Light Batteries recently, and he desired me to
obtain the above nemed batteries and send them to you. IT enclose ,
herewith a sketch of the comections, made by the Robert s~Brevoort
people, and directions for aceidig up the battertos, They avai
that these connections should be made exactly in the manner they
prescribe, otherwise their battery will not dothe work that it
otherwise would,
I have seen one of their batteries up-town, and it certainly
does very good work as far as I gan judge. |
In a few days I will send you another set of batteries of the
Mason=Wood Company which Mr, Upton has asked me to obtain for you,

side of the middle horrizontal slot, Place the cups in first, v4
then in the cups the zines with the screw on the zine opposite
to the trap openings; fill the cups with fresh water to within
an inch from the top and add to this water a table spoonful of i
PAvreniene table salt,then pour in the soltion outside of the '
! cups,three quarts to each cup or one and a half gallons for each
cell; put on the cover,when the screws of the zincs witl pass
through the small round holes on the side opposite to the trap
openings; then pass the three carbons through the slots into the
; solution, see that the nuts screws, and wing nuts and copper
connections are clean and dry; affix the copper connections to the
' screws as shown in the annexed diagram spot on the check and wing
nuts and screw down tightly; be sure that the contact is perfect.
All that is necessary to be done to maintain the battery
is to see that the water in the cups is kept up to within an
necked funnel which must be inserted through the trap opening to

The following matter will give you an idea as to using my
| solution. The solution (depolarizing) that I have sup~
‘pilied is to be used in the porous cups of battery only
-and when immersing the carbons be very sure the depolarize
ing solution does not overflows When the carbons are in
place the depolarizing solution ought to be 1«2 inch from
the top of the porous cups and never higher. Of course
. you wild not let the said solution mix with the outside»
* or zinc solution- or the zincs will soon disappear.
| The solution in which. zincs are immersed is
made as followse
Water 20 partse
Sulphuric Acid 1 part. Wéll mixed.

is written in haste. .

Thomas A. Edison Esq.,
Orange, Neds ’ :
Dear Sir:- >
; When shali you be prepared to offer for sale the primary
battery which has been developed to run the Phonograph motor ?
What yolts and amperes can it be relied upon to give in the oper-
ation of such u motor as would be necessary to run a sewing; machine,
that is to say;on a cireuit where it is called upon for an inter~
mittent action? What-is to be the price per cell and what the
expense of recharging ? Do you expect to produce zine amalgamated
throughout for this battery ?
I think you will understand the intent of these queries. Tt
appears certain that there is a great future for a primary battery i
which will run a sewing machine motor economically, in cases where i.
it is impossible to get current from a station.
We have in this office a model of Philip Diehi's motor,
adapted to a 100 volt circuit. When running at full speed with
the ordinary load put upon it by a sowing machine Like the Singer,
it requires about 8/10 of an ampere, and to provide this amount of '
energy from a primary battery would seem to be 2 somewhat Scrious i
matter. Will your Phonograph motor operate a sewing machine to
better advantage than this ?
Your kind attention to this matter will be considered a per-
sonal favor.

Dear Sir:
In reply to yours of December llth as to phonopraphic battery,
if this is not far enough advanced to quote price, is it possible
for you to give me the other information requested, so that I can
judge of the outputs In many cases the cost of the battery is
immaterial, provided the care and maintenance is not prohibitory,
and sobs particular case I cannot take a step towards the con~
struction of a motor, until something definite can be stated as to
the number of cells and consequently the electro-motwwe Loree for
which the motor should be wound,

This battery, which has been on the market for more
than seven years, has been improved from time to time,
and has now renched a’ perfection-never equaled by any
other, res. an i.
In first cost and maintainance it is the cheapest battery
ever offered, It is the cleanest, most efficient, durable
and uniform in its action and requires less care, No
acids are used-and it has no fume or odor, It will not
freeze, It is -simple: and easily understood, - ‘cannot
get out of order, every : part is in plain sight. It -
has-no porous cup “or “prising. The efficiency is
due to the solution ‘alone—not to any compound
or complicated riegative. The negative. clement is
simply carbon plates which are not consumed ‘or in-
jured by use, and will” last - indefinitely, Nothing but
zine ‘and solution are consumed by usc, It is the first
and only. battery’ witha soluable, depolarizer’ or anti-
polarizer in the solution, which has no action on the zine
when the cirewit - is open, It is absolutely free from M
“local” or waste action. ILis more constant than any
other open circuit battery, slower to polarize and quicker
to recuperate. See testimonials, ‘ c

HIS excitant, being covered by separate patents,?is
T not inclided in the price of the cell, but sold as.a
separate item. The efficiency and desirable qualities of
the battery are due mainly to this compound. It is pre-
pared only by the inventor and patentee, and. furnished
in packages, each sufficient fér one cell. It is never sold
in bulk, Five and one-fourth ounces are sufficient to
consttme two ounces of zinc, which is the weight of that
part of an ordinary § inch zinc rod, below the surface of
the solution. By thus proportioning the excitant: to the
zine, one is exhausted when the other is consumed, hence
no waste of materials. - Every package bears my-Trade

with it. An admirable battery from the first, it actually
improves with age. It causes no trouble to keep it in
working order and is always ready for use. I therefore
cheerfully recommend it to all persons who aie in need
ofa first-class battery fora physical or chemical Iabra-

Lowen., MAss., March 2qth, 1887,
T have had thirty of Fitch’s “Chlorine” cells in almost
daily use for nearly two years, The expense for chemi-
cals to charge them at first was not over seven cents per
cell, and the total expense not over $1.25 per year, in-
cluding the wearing out of the zincs. I have used one of
the same kind of cell to replace the Smee clement in a
Kidder machine, greatly increasing the convenience and
effectiveness of the latter, as there is no polorization and
no pouring of acid into a bottle. From my experience I
would estimate that two cents’ worth of exciting fluid
would run the machine fifteen minutes a day for three
months, W. B, JACKSON, M. DL.
DH. Frren :
Dear Sin—Over a year ago, as_you will remember, 1
bought of you one of your “Chlorine Batteries" of
twenty-five cells, This I placed in the cellar and .con-
nected with my office table for use there. It has been in
almost daily use since without ever having to do the firat
thing with it, not even refilling, and now, after a year’s
service, I cannot see but that it runs just as well as it did
the first day I used it, and the battery is just as clean as
when put in, not the least particle corroding, ‘This is a
better record than any other battery can furnish with
which T am acquainted. { can only say I am more than
pleased with it, as every man must be who knows any-
thing about electricity and has occasion to wse a Dattery

-~FOR THE
PERFECT BATTERY.
REMOVE any dust that may be on or in the jar and
empty one package of excitant into it; fill the jar with
water nearly to thé shoulder, and stir with a teeoden rod
until the excitant is nearly or entirely dissolved, put on
the cover, put in the carbon, insert the zinc, put the
brass binding clamp through the hole in the carbon, as
shown in the engraving, and the cell will be ready for
use. The battery will not give its tull strength until all
of the excitant is dissolved, and its efficiency will increase
for several weeks,
When more cells than one are used connect by copper
wires the carbon of one cell with the zine of the next, and
so on through the series, This will leave a free carbon
at one end of the series and a free zinc at the other, to
which the wires leading to the apparatus should be
attached, See that all connections are bright and firm ;
no battery can work with its full strength or with uni-
formity through rusty or loose connections,
The water used should be soft and as pure as can be-
cbtained. In filling the cell be careful not to spill or
spatter the excitant or solution on or in the Jar, above the
surface of the solution, and in placing jt handle gently so
as to keep the glass above the solution dry. A little care
‘in this way will avoid capillary surfaces and will be richly
repaid in cleanliness, ;
It is important that the “circuit” be left “open” when
not in actual use, because material is consumed in pro-
portion to the amount it is closed, ur the current which
the battery generates, It does not consume or waste any
« material while the circuit is open,
EL.
ST...
Lal.
Ca Lee,
If the wires leading from the battery itre long, special
care should be given to insulation, They should be on
DRY supports and no strain put on them which will in.
jure the covering, Any leak on these wires due to Inck
Of insulation through dampness or other causes would be *
a constant drain on the battery and would consume ma:
terial much faster tian actual use.
The excitant and zine are so proportioned that they
will be consumed uniformly and exhausted at the same
time, When exhausted by use, throw out the old solu-
tion, ritis¢ the jar, carbon and cover, wry them and
refill as at first with new exettant and zine and the battery
will be as good as new.
In case of accidental “short circuiting,” extreme cold
or very hard service, some crystals of Spent residue may ,
form on the zine and carbon, If but few, they will not |
materially effect the working of the cells; if many, the
addition of one ounce of Muriatic acid to the liquid in
cach cell will cause them to dissolve. More than one
ounce of the Muriatic acid should never be put in the celf
at one time and then only when there are crystals on the
plates to require it. This quantity will not cause “local” & *
action when there ard crystals to consume it,
Crystals of spent residue will. gradually form in the
bottom of the cell, in proportion to the amount the bat-
tery is used, but they will dono harm and inay be al-
lowed to remain there until the excitant is exhausted, and
then thrown out with it.
In case of evaporation, ndd water to make the solution

take any paper over 4 months and as it is two of these notes will have to ‘be
held a few days yet before they will come within that time, I may be able to use
,those. for you later of if you cannot yourself dispose of that meanwhile, If you
will send the notes I can let you have the check within a week,:
Hoping this will ‘be satisfactory, 1 remain

‘My Dear Edison: ~
New York, Feb, 14th. 1888
In answer to your favor o¥ the 30thiult.on the subject of
dsessment for laboratory experiments to be conducted in our interest, @n looking
into the matter I beg to say,that I find that the greatest pert of our ofip
experimental expenses is for improvement on our electric light apparatus and
that it amounts to quite a large sum; and I think that $150.00: per week in
addition to this will ‘be too heavy a tax on us, I therefore beg,as a compromise
to offer to pay #400,00 ‘Per month, that is about $100.00 per week, for which you
will aie Us credit as outlined in your letter and should we find after a while
that it ts not enough,and ‘by which time we will be able to Judge better of |
results, we can then allow another $50.00 a Week or more if necessary, Insteag
of sending you the money every week I propose also to sent it once a month
which will ‘be lass ‘bother,
Iwill be obliged to tave you reply personally jetting me know if fie
Ts not Satisfactory,:

‘My Dear Edison: is
What [£ warted the proxy, of your stock in the Edison Wiring Co. for was for the
purpose of winding them up. We all came to the copelusion, including Mr, Chinnock,;
that the bgst thing we gould do was bo take the Wiring Co. right over lato the Unit-
ed Co., as it Originally was, It is a profitable business, and it is Shown that they
made good profit while they were to existence, although there was great dissatictac-
rblon, such cases as your deighbor at Llewellyn Park. The United Co, bought up the ;
Stock of the United Co.’s Stockholders, and paid them 25% more than they paid io.eWe
found that was the profit they made. You will in a few days receive your payment:
plus 25% of your ‘investment, Trusting this meets your approval, I remain,

Dear Sirgi-
In reference to your letter of the 24th inst.,
; returning bills for material and labor in comection with experi-
| ments on Indicator and Voltmet er, I would say that I was getting
these up not for the Lamp Company, but for Berpsmarm & Go, The
instrument is perfection itself, am its cost is ahout one-half
that of the Howell Indicator, in addition to which it standar+
dizes itself, depending upon gravity. I had no idea that you
could object to my doing this, but if yo do not wish the experi~
ments continued in your interest, I am dave the Lamp Company will
be very glad to avail themselves of it.

Ky Lear Mr. tate:
1 inelose you herewith sample of a peculiar kind of paper, and also of
treated wood fibre from which it 1s.made, ;
i am told by one of our salesmen that his custoner( a doctor) 1s making
from sixty to elghty tons a day of this paper, and that if it could ‘be made per~_
fectly white there is tig money in it. He has tried, ‘but unsuacess fully hitherto,
bo whiten the paper, ‘but having ‘been told ‘by some electrician out in Chicago that
it could be done by electricity, he is anxious that Mr, wéison should take hold
of the matter, presuming, of course, that if it could ‘be done ‘by electricity Mr,:
“#dison would ‘be the one to do 1b.
f have promised to have the matter ‘brought before him if posstble, and
think the bést method of doing it. is through you. hoping to hear from you at
your earliest convenience on the subject, I remain, :
Yours very truly,

Dear Sir:=

ing estimate on certain parts of Equalizers, as per blue
eee: You Bey in your letter that ‘you are havi ng the
frames and resistances of the Equdlizers built and. put to=..
We are, on this occasion, obliged to respectfully de-
cline to give the desired estimates. Our neneuan’ with the
Edison EY. Lt. Co. permits and requires us to manufacture and
supply any .of the appliances and apparatus used in the Edi- |
son syatem, but this is the first time we have ever been
called upon Ge make certain parts of such apparatus as this,
on which we ave spent a great deal of time,and monay and ;
made valuable improvements, for which we have applied for
patents, and our contract does not require us to do so. We
would not care so much about this if the goods required were
regular standard apparatus which we know would work when thay
left here, but, as appears from: the blue prints sent us, the
parts which you desire are not similar to anything that has
been made before, and therefore, there is a possibility that
defects may crop up in the apparatus; not only this, but if
part be made one place and the balance in another, this pos
sibility becomes a@ probability. -We do not care to have aig
question arise about our work after it leaves here. If we
make the whole apparatus, we will know that it ieeil right
before it leaves our satetaiemens or it will not be sent out,
but we shall have no means of knowing this unless we make it
all. We must therefore stand on our rights, given us by
the Edison Electric Light Co. in our contract with them,
above mentioned, and respectfully decline to estimate onthe
parts of apparatus for which you have sent us blue prints.

says I did tells you falsely. 2nd. i have told you wat I thought
of you to your face and never any addition to this statement has
been made behind your back. 3rd. You never had any legal or
moral right to the new Phonograph or to manufacture it. I took
up this subject in my own Laboratory, paid for all the exper iments
and now manufacture it myself. 4th. No encroachment on the under-
standing regarding division of work pe tween the three shops has
ever come to my knowledge. Sth, I neve never tried to sontz1

any statement you make.
I have hlways done everything to help every one of the boys;
I have always been glad they were getting wealthy; -the more they
made the better 1t pleased me; I am gbad you are well fixed; would
not do a thing to prevent you making money; all the money you have
you made yourself by your ability; that you had a chance to exer-
cise that ability was due to me; you have been wrked up to a
state of dam foolishness by your enemies, of which you have a
very choice and extensive collection.
Your action with Lippincots cannot be defmded on sy known
ground of commercial usage and is a thing which will in the future
be & source of regret to you, You are too fierce to make money.
Whereas, your standing in the city where you live ad die should
have been your first corsideration and money afterward.

1888. Dick (A.B.) Company (D-88-03)
This folder contains correspondence and other documents relating to the
mimeograph and electric pen business of A.B. Dick Co. Some of the items
pertain to the technical and commercial development of the mimeograph.
Also included are writing samples produced by the mimeograph and a few
letters dealing with mimeograph royalty payments. In addition, there are
inquiries about the electric pen--the predecessor to the mimeograph--and about
the electric pen battery. Among the correspondents are Albert B. Dick,
president of the company, and Robert Gilliland, Edison’s mimeograph agent
in Michigan. Some of the material may be partially or completely illegible due
to faded ink.
All the documents have been filmed.

Dear Sir. -
Replying to yours of the 27-th. insh. I received the inks
and am now testing them with the Hammond, ‘6aligraph and ‘Remington
machines ‘in connection with the Mimeograph.
As soon as‘! have ®00 copies printed with each ink I will
either send or bring them to you and the results will show which is
the.best. In: using dia dian ecant With the Hammond it is frequently
necessary to screw the tension of the hammer to-its strongest blow
‘and this will rack the machine to‘pieces-in a short time. THis I
think oan’ be ‘cured by using a different ‘ink, |
‘Yours truly

Dear Sir: he
foam in search of a vary thin, transparent, elestie Var-
nish or substanee for coating vur yp ewriter stencil paper which will
make it impervious to ink, and to be spread over the stencil sheet
after we have paraffined the fiberous Paper with a very thin coat-
ing. I have tried Jollodion but with poor suecess as it does not
adhere to the wax suificiently well to meko satisfactory work,
You spoke to me, when last in yorr Labarotory, of a thin
coating which coulé Le used for this purpose or rather which could
be used without the paraffine, and I thought perhaps it would be just
what we are looking for to use in connection with the paraffine to
make the sheets absolutely impervious to ink.
If you ean help us on this it will be appreciated,
Yours very truly, : oe

Mr, Thos.A.Edison,

Dear Sir:--We are credible informed by one of our
agents in Germany that Mr. Armin Tenner is manufacturing an imitation
of the Mimeograph in that Country to compete with our agents ,and we
take this opportunity of notifying you(for your information only) that
he has treated his negotiations with us in a manner wholly unbecoming
@man of strict business principles. It may or my not be possible
for us to check-mate him, at the same time we will do our utmost.
Mr . Tenner was recommended to us by Mr. E. T. Gilliland and
we made him a small shipment of Mimeographs some months ago, but fail-
ed to close arrangements with him for handling them'on extensive scale
for the reason, as he stated, that he could not afford to handle the
Mimeograph without the Phonograph, and he had lost the agency for the
latter.
Yours very truly,

work is cOnceded to be the only method ever devised whereby per-
fect copies.can be taken from an original in’ unlimited numbers’, * -
The operation is simple, practical and reliable and consists
in the use of a prepared stencil paper, over which is placed.a .
Perforating Silk and both Passed through a Typewriter — either the
‘Remington, Caligraph or Hammond - and written upon the seme as an
ordinary letter, with the exception that no ribbon whatever is -
used, : . 8
The stencil thus formed is placed in the Mimeograph Printing
-frame, and copies taken from it by passing the inking roller over
it in tne oediaaey Way e
From 1000 to 1500 perfect copies, which cannot be distins : a)
guished from actual Typewriter letters made through a ribbon can:
be taken from one stenoda at the rate of 600 an‘hour,
“No sand or emery paper is used, and Gncedieerly none of ‘the
characters are "cut out" of the stencil sheet, nor are the type
roughened or injured in any way, as is the case invariably in-all
other stencil processes.

1888. Edison, T.A. - General (D-88-05)
This folder contains documents, primarily correspondence, covering a
wide variety of subjects. Some of the material relates to personal matters. Also
included are documents that deal with more than one subject, such as a letter
about both the electric light and the phonograph. Documents concerning
subjects that do not fall under the main subject categories are also filed in this
folder. Among the items are correspondence with Henry Villard concerning
the formation of a company to manufacture Edison’s inventions and a list of
proposed research projects. Also included are letters about the rift between
Edison and Edward H. Johnson, one of his business associates, and about
Edison sending models of several of his inventions to Sir Frederick Bramwell
for a lecture before the Royal Institution of Great Britain.
All the documents have been filmed except for duplicate copies of
selected documents.

Dear Sir ;
ae! In the Electrical World ( New York ) of Jan. 1, 1887, is
printed an extended article on "The Fffect of Flectro Magnets in Tele-
phone Cireuits," in which it is claimed that connecting the two coils
of an ordinary electro magnet in multiple are the secondary induced ~~
current is "neutralized" in itself. In the same paper of Jan, 29, '%
1887, I attempted to show that the connecting in "multiple" has no
acc aoe

practical effect only so far as it reduces the energy of the magnet Q
and that a magnet wound with a wire double the size ( electrically ) ¢
and half the length would accomplish practically the same result and, 3
ina more simple and inexpensive manner. : a
es , Ne
Also in the "World" of May 21, I explained a further experiment tg
tending to maintain my position. : 5 ,

‘Am aware that my views differ, not only with the writer of the 4 :
first article referred to,- but also with such eminent. authority as, Xe
W. H. Preece, F. R. S. ( see his book "Telegraphy") I account for ity)
on the ground that.Mr. Preece did not give the matter much study. It nf
occurs to me that the question in both a scientifie and practical JS
point of view may be sufficient to attract your passing attention. ag

I shall regard it a great honor to receive your views on the dis-. a

Dear Sir;-
It is evident that no one could tell how an incan-
descent Jamp has been exhausted.I have a new way , and so far
only the Patent Office knows about it. I invented it a long time |
ago, and official action of last August shows that the invention |
is novel and patentable.If the invention were patented in my
name , no one would suspect that you or any one else were using
it. It is therefore , a secret process » and for this reason,
especially I call your attention to it. The advantages are
subdivision of labor among unskilled handsand simplest tools.
I have tried it at an expense of only $3. and find that
with my rude appliances and want of an electric current to improwe
the vacuum, 1: obtained as good a vacuum as is found in the ordi-
nary @ommercial lamp. I am not prepared to guarantee that it
is better than the mercury pump as I have not exhausted enough
lamps to compute the exact cost per lamp, but theoretically,
it would be several times cheaper. Neither can I guarantee that
th vacuum is better than in the ordinary lamp, because in my
office I had not the facilities to compare. At Benjamin's, and
at Richards and Co., we obtained a green flame a long time ago.
I may be praising the invention too much in advance of ccrucial
‘tests, but the latter could be tried so easily at your labora~
tory, that I would like to call and describe it to you and give
you several points , if you would probably desire to test it
with a view to our mutyal, benefit. There is no doubt that the
same idea has occurrea hat the application has been pending so
long , and I have such old records, that the patent will belong
to myself when granted, , and you may feel safe that it is eau i !
pable of protection. I think that you could so systematize the |
steps and design the special tools, so that six boys and six :
sirls could in eight hours, exhaust 5,000.0 what hour you could
see me. Hoping to hear favorably,
Yours respectfylly fh

Dear Sir;-
my last visit to Milan. The brick house was your birth place,
the adjoining house of wood oceupies the site of the old Jennings

It was moved to this site about twelve years ago, when I

in the forest or old field, and the whole process of curing is leas costly
and less Inborious, and the Tobacco cured therewith free from dust,
and has a sweetor flavor, The fiue process possesses so many nd-
vantages over all other modes of curing Tobacco, -is go safe, if properly
constructed, and free from smoke, that, when its merits beeome better
known, it will come into goneral use, and supersede all other modes,
The first step in curing is called the sTEAMING OR YELLOWING PRO-
cess. Medium Tobacco will require from twenty-four to thirty hours’
steaming, at nbout ninety degrees, to yellow sufficiently, but Tobacco
time to yellow, Hero the judgment of the curer must he his guide. In-
experienced planters would do well to procure the services of an ox-
pert curer, if thoy have Tobacco suitable for Fine Yellow. The planter
saves, in enhanced yaluo of his crop, many times the money paid to the
curer, and, besides, by close attention, he may learn, in one season, to
‘eure well himself. Theory alone, however good, and directions, how-
‘ever minute, will not do here, but it is practice that mast qualify one
to cure well.
When it is remembered that no two plants are uxactly alike, no
two barns precisely similar in every particular, and the weather ma
‘change every hour, is it reasonable that a fixed programme can be fol-
lowed, for every curing, with any cortain hope of success? The ex-
perionced know better. On work go variable only general directions can
e given, The planter here must use his head as well.
Tho next step is called FIxiIna THE Coton. When the Tobacco is
suificiently yellowed, the best leaves of a uniform yellow, and the
greener ones of a light pea-green color, it is time to advance the heat to
one hundred degrees, observing the leaves closely, to detect sweating,
which will soon redden and spoil the color, unless driven off. To do
this, open the door and let it stand open, and if, after an hour or more,
the sweat has ‘not disappeared, open 2 space between the logs, on op-
posite sides of the barn, to let in more air, nnd permit it to remain open
until the Tobacco has dried off'all appearance of the sweat. Tp dry off
the swent speedily, sprinkle dry straw or hay over tho floor, and set fire
thereto, using just cnough straw to accomplish the desired results.
Right at this-point moro soruga are spoiled than at any other stage of
the process, It inay be well to remember, what is a fact, that at least
too slow, Now, stick a pin here,
But, to go back to the barn, where we have just dried the Leaf,
this need not concern the curer, to put him out of hope, for a little cool-
ing, under the circumstances, was necessary—we close up the opening,
and raise the heat to one hundred degrees. But a skillful curer detects
the first indications of sweat, and prevents it by regulating the heat.
Keep the heat at one hundred degrees for four hours, and then ad-
vance two and a half degrees every two hours, until one hundred and
ten degrees are reachod. Here you have reached the most critical
point in the difficult process of curing Bright Tobacco. The condition
and appearance of the Tobacco must now be the curer’s guide. No one
oan successfully cure Tobacco until he can distinguish the effects of too
much or too little heat in the appearance of the leaf. ‘Too little heat,
in fixing the color, operates to stain the /uce sido of the leaf a dull.
brown color, and is called ‘‘sponging,’’ and may he known to the
novice by its appearance only on the face side of the leaf. Too much
heat reddens the loaf, first around the edge, and then in spots, which
aro visible on doth sides. Now, to prevent “sponging,” on the one
hand, and “‘spotting,”’ on the other, is the aim of the experienced
curer, No definite time can be laid down to run from one hundred and
ten to one hundred and twenty degrees. Sometimes four hours will
suffice; then, again, eight hours is fast enough. While it is usual, at
this stage, to advance ahout five degrees, every two hours, for medium
Tobacco, the condition of the Tobacco often indicates, to the practiced
aye, the necessity for slower or faster movement. But it is s-fo not to
advance above one hundred and ten degrees, until the tails begin to
curl at the ends. Arrived at one hundred and twenty or one hundred
and twenty-five degrees, this is the curtna process. The heat should
remain at or near these figures until the leaf is cured, which will require
from aix.to cight hours, according to the amount of sap in the luaf to he
expelled. When the leaf appears to be cnred, advance five degrees
every hour, up to one hundred and seventy dogrees, and remain until
stalk and stem are thoroughly cured, -To run aboye one hundred and
eighty degrees is to ondanger scorching the Tobacco, and perhaps
burning both barn and Tobacco. To recapitulate: -
First, Yellowing process, 90 degrees, from 24 to 30 hours.
Second. Fixing color, 100 degrees for 4 hours; 100 to 110, 214 de:
grees every two hours; 110 to 120 degrees, from 4 to 8 hours.
Third, Curing the leaf, 120 or 125 degrees, from 6 to 8 hours.
Fourth, Curing stalk and stem, 125 to 170 dogrees, 5 degrees an
hour, and continue at 170 degrees until stalk and atem are thoroughly
killed and dry, which usually requires from twelve to fifteen hours.
THE NEW- METHOD. .
The eurig process for Yellow Tobacco, as heretofore laid down,
_ wae first published in the year 1871, and waa the first systematia|
” treatise givon to the public on the difficult art of curing Yellow To-|
bacco, and it has remained substantially unaltered through six editions
of the pamphlet, aggregating largely aver 100,000 copier, . Thonsands, |
as ar,
“Blue iar
in several States, have taken it for their guide, and been enabled to
learn to cure successfully, withont any other assistance. But the
Yellow Tobacco industry hing greatly progressed and extended during
a
the past decade, and new light has come, through experience, to:
further perfect the art of curing.
The following is given as the latest. improvements in caring Tobacco :-
House the Tobacco as soon as cut, and, after warming up the barn
for two or three hours, at temperature of about 90 degrees, advance
the heat rapidly up to 125 degrees, or as high as it will bear without
sealding the Tobacco, letting the heat remain at 125 degrees only a fow
minutes, end then, by drawing the fires. and turning the dampers, cut
off the heat, and let the temperature of the barn descend to 00 degrees,
This is genoratly culled “‘sapping.”? ‘The rationale of the process is
this: The heat, by expansion, opens the sup eclls and-starta the water
to the surface, facilitates evaporation, und hastens the yellowing pro-
coss, This ‘ iT
of short duration, or olse grert injury will be done to the Tobacco,
Following this made, the yellowing process’ is greatly shortened,
requiring from four to eight hours less to fellow sulliciently, and also
haatens the second stage of euring—fixing the color.
It is woll to stute that there 1s so great x difference in the character
of Tobacco grown in different localities, that no rale ean be given for
the yellowing process npplicuble to all, The Tobaeco of middle and
western North Carolina will yellow in much less time than that grown
in middle Virginia. Then, again, Tobacco will bear higher tempera-
ture, fn the yellowing process, during some yeara than in others.
Notably the season of 1884 was s0 dry, und Tobnevo-held so little arp
when ripe, that many commenced yellowing at 100 degrees, and had the
leaf cured in fifty hours, Bnt this is exceptionul, and, for generat
limbering up’’ process, of high hent at the start, must be \
practice, would spoil both color and Tobacco. ‘The sceuson, therefore, °
it must be borne in mind, greatly determines the amount of heat the
Tobneco will require to be yellowed and cured,
Some of the patented dues are so constructed that the heat is easily
controlled, and the Tobneco smoked or steamed, or both, as may be
necossary in the yellowing stage. Some Tobacco will require neither
to yellow right, while some other will dry up green or red without yel-
lowing, If smoke or steam be not used to assist the yellowing process, .
Smoke and ateam will facilitate the yellowing of thin, poor Tobacco
holding very little sap. Wetting the barn floor, from time to time, will
assist in yellowing Tobncco. ‘Then there is an occasional barn of To-
paste thet defies all the known motes and appliances to yellow or cure
right, 20s
But, for all practical purposes, whenever tho curer has mastered 1
knowledgo of the effects of too much or too little hoat, as ovidenced in
the color of the Tobneeo, elearly described heretofore, he possesses tt!
key tosolve the dificult problem in tho scionce of curing Tobacco, By
close observation this lesson may soon be learned and then success {9
ensy,
fou may run {t up in the roof of the barn and crowd it close, or If the
arn ig needed for other curings, the Tobacco may be carried tathe———~
storage barn or bulked down in any dry house on the premises. But
be sure that nothing is bulked with groon stalks or swelled atema, for if
auch are placed down in bulk it witl be sure to heat and utterly ruin,
VARIETIES FOR SPECIFIC TYPES OF TOBACCO, *
We will premiso by stating that only an approximate guide ma
be given for tho selection of varieties sulted to the soveral types, The
variation in soil and climate in different localities greatly modify th
selection. For, what is best in soma loculities is not best In others;
and trial, at last, must determine what is best in evory case, When
this fs found, it {s well to~ stick to it and plant mainly of this variety;
and sparingly of others; until a better is found, if possible.
We recommend for Dark, Heavy Shipping, A/edley Pryor and
For Mahogany Wrappers, Zuckahoe, Sweet Oronoko and Gold Leaf.
For Cutters, uso Granville Yellow, Gooch, Hester and Tuckahoe.
For Fino Yellow Wrappers, use Granville Yeliow, Tuckahor, White
Stem Oronoko, Yellow Pryor, Yellow Oronoke aud Hester,
For Sweet Fillors, Stee Oroxoko and Flanagen. ‘
For Yollow Fillers and Cigarettes, Hyco, Granville Yellow and
Silky Pryor —the latter makes Fine Wrappers on somo soils, '
; f the planter finds, after trial, that any variety fnils to do well’on
his soil, let him discard it, make 2 note of it, and select another
The White Stem Oronoko,. Yellow Pryor and Mellow Oronoko aro
varieties that rarely fail to. make Fine Wrappera wherever auch van be
grown, . . :
., The Tuckahoe isn new candidate for favor, and deserves oxtenalve
trial, ag it has proved, in Virginin, to produce the richest yellow goods
of any other—na grado now much in domand. Its comparative freedom
from apot and poveiiny is grently in its favor, having proved nearest of
all to be drought proof. 4
The Sweet Oronoko, for Plug Fillers has never been excelled..
After curing, aa soon us the Tobueco is suillelently suft to move,
The Hesterand Gooch succeed best in some localities for Brights or .
Cutters, ;
| Hyco is decidedly. the easiest of any to cure yellow; requires 4
moist, but not wet. gray soil; rarely succecds on red or thiraty soll.
The Tuckahoe and /Yesfer posseas a wider adaptability’ to sofla and
types than any others, : -

be please to receive the copies of correspondence in reg +o

after
the two Japanese (Niwas) from Nagoya. I feel confident tHat,
Thomas A. Edison Esq.,
re
their arrival back in Japan, narrating their experience in Ris
country, England and Germany, meeting our Mr. Lindsley in Yokohama,
together with the good assistance of our friend, Prof. Fujioka,
the result will be, in all probability, that we shall get an order
for a plant for Nagoya.
I fully Sdeasvosate: the expressions at the close of your let-
ter end trust thet our comection with the East may long continue.
I have sent your original letter td Mr. Lindsley in Japan, for his
pavabal,: with the request that it be sent to Mr.Wetmore in Shang-
hae I know they will be pleased to receive same. I must apologize
for not making an earlier response to this letter, but pressure of
business since its receipt must be my perae.
In conversation with Mr. Insull yesterday, we both concluded
that our Japan business was increasing satisfactorily, and the Ma-
chine Works have received orders for a number of dynamos, armatures
“2
etc, of late. We expect more to follow.
PHONOGRAPH. I shall be pleased to learn from you when we may
expect to have the new phonograph ready for ship't to Japan and
China, when I will send you an order for same. I will require 10
instruments for each place and would be glad to have same as soon
as convenient. You suggested having three instruments, extra
finished, with a small nickle plate placed on the outside, ~ Present
ed by Thomas A. Edison, Inventor, to H, E. Licnmie oneens H. M.
the King of Korea and H. M. the Emperor of Japan. These you sug-
gested my sending out and having Messrs. Lindsley and Wetmore pre-
sent to the above named dignitarkes, with your compliments. I
would suggest their being sent along with the others- that for
H. E. Li to accompany the 10 to China and those for H. M. the King
of Korea and H. M. The Emperor of Japan, with those for Japan.
My son, Everett, who is making very satisfactory progress in
his 2nd year's course at Stevens Institute, is very desirous of
- availing of your very interesting weekly lectures to your workmen
in your Laboratory. Would it be convenient for you to wave Mr.
Taite send to him (Everett We Fradar, 81 High St.) a ticket admit-
ting him to these ieotawses . \

My dear Sir:
Yesterday, the party a whom I have been dealing in
the Wellsbach Gas Light Co., came to see me and we had a long talk
concerning the burner which they expect we are soon to bring out,
and from his conversation, I do not think the question of patents
will have any effect upon this matter. They evidently feel that
‘they have a great thing, and I think their plan is to g@0 slow and
gobble up everything in the way of incandescent gas burners, and
wait until they get the whole thing in theix hands before doing
much, as their stockholders are all monied men, and they can afford
to wait.
I could plainly see thet they are very much afraid of your
burner, as they fully under stand that I will push the matter for.
all it is worth, and I feel confident if we had a fairly good burx-
ner that we could dispose of our right, title and interest in the
invention as it may appear, without reference to patents or any
fuarantees whatever. !
I hope you will give this matter your personal attention as
soon as you consistently can, with the other large interests which
I know you have on hand.
They do not want us to &0 into the field and Organize a Co.,
‘or Say anything in the papers about ovr burner. I an more satis-«
fied than ever that they are making improvements, and that they
intend to keep to work until they get theirs perfected; I under-
stad tlat they have Just brought over from Europe, two of the
best chemists they could get. It is also very evident from my
friend's donveiedtibn with me,that they do not think you ca bring
out 8 perfect manile, but they are satisfied that you can bring out
something fairly 600d, and that you are just as liable to perfect
it as they would be, and they dont wand us ag competitors, and this
is the main reason why they would be willing to pay a pretty £00d
price to get us out of the way and to take whatever we might have,
whether perfeet or imper fect.
I wrote my friond in London, to send me whatever he could get
in the way of circulars, etc., on the Wellsbach Light Co., and I
herewith enclose you what was sent to me by him.
The other matter is progressing as rapidly as possible.

fabrie i is consumed in the ordinary, way 5 that isto say, the,- organic matter
ne first carbonized and then, together with the more volatile materials of
wire with which tho mois was threaded before,burning) a residual skeleton of
the inedintbustible oxides’ contained i de the impregnating solution. This residual
skeleton, although nitch stiller thih the unbuint mnintle “Gits reduction ‘in
value being due to the loss of the orgunie material); retains not only its original
form. but. also its original woyen and, reticulated structure ; 3, ond as it ig com-
posed of some: of the most refractory ‘substances "mown: to tho. ‘chemist, . it is
capable of withstonding for long periods, with very little change, temporatures
at which high degrees’ of incandescence are reuched and at which most nietallic

Welsbuch‘syutem, onsure ‘such very porfect combustion-that. theres no solid
carbon thrown into the jutmogphere while burning, und in consequence of this
the light is absolutely -smokeless, und, moreover, gives off no unpleasant
vapours that can be perceived, even after many lights have been burning many
hours in.v closed-room; this fuct is probably due, in the first place, to the very
small initial quantity of gas Sonsaneds ane seccudly, to ene sau ne ae. com-

Tt is an interesting fact that ‘the ‘bofore-mentioned ‘high, efficiency of ‘the
‘light is obtained with » remurkably diminished heating offect—so much 6f ‘the
heat generated in tho flame. being converted into radinnt light—thus, it is

Tt'is hardly necesstny to point ovt'that a source ofsilhunination possessing
these qualities is invaluable for places in which there are pictures, decorations,
and costly books and ‘furniture, but its most remarkille feature is the purity
and whiteness of the light produced,-which so closely resembles that of day-
light that colours seem to be quite unaffected by it, nnd thé most delicate
shades of blue-and green, of yéllow nudviolet are unaltered in quality, while by
every-other system of: urtificial illuminations (except,-perhups, the best electric

MR. JUSTICH GROVE.
Mr. J. E, Wright, special representative of The United
Press, in Europe, discourses pleasantly of Mr, Justice
Grove in a letter to General Manager Phillips, as follows:
The London papers recently contained notices of the resig-
nation of Mr. Justice Grove, of the High Court of Justice,
and the appointment of Mr. Arthur Charles in his place.
This change caused the comment usual on such occasions,
aud one or two of the grent dailies touched lightly on the
. retiring judge’s attainments in tho.realm of science: How
many, however, of even the diligent and earnest workersin
the field of electricity suspected when reading of the retire.
ment of ono judge and the appointment of another,though
there might be a familiar ring in one of the names, that
the inventor of the Grove battery was still in tho land of
the living, and that the gentleman who had <just laid aside
his wig and robes was nono other than he. ‘Very few in-
deed; for beforw some of those whose numes are now house.
hold words—Edison for inatance—were born, Sir William
Grove was-delving deep into the mysteries of nature, and
rapidly collecting and evolving facts which eventually saw
the light in his ‘ Correlation of Forces,” a publication
which marked an epoch in the world of science.
Fift ears ago William Grove ‘was called to the English
bar. f health, at the very inception of his legal career,
compelled him to refrain from an‘ active practice of the
Jaw, but, fortunately for civilization, he directed the efforts
of his fertile brain toward the study of natural foxes, oe
10
pecially electricity and magnetism, During this perio
vented his famous voltaic battery, nnd in 1840, 80 well
known as sn investigator had ho then become, he was ee-
lected for the position of Professor of Ex erimental Philos-
ephy at the London Institution. From 1840 til] 1847 Mr,
Grove, by hard work, and with 2 perception as keen as it
was remarkable, discovered many new and useful facts,
His published works ehow that for him the unknown had
no terrors; no problem presented obstacles capable of with-
standing his vigorous attack. Shortly, he formulated and
advanced the theory of the convertability of the natural
forces into each other, In short, he discovered: that all
known forces were simply “ modes of motion,” a theory
which must forever be associated with his name.
Apparently satisfied with having solved this greut ques-
tion, ir, Grove again turned his attention to the courts and
his profession. His intellectual powers, although now
moving in another, and it woul 1 seem, lees congenial chan-
“nel, again prevailed, for in 1871 he was raised to the bench
as a Justice of the old Court of Common Pleas, He has,
therefore, for sixteen years been one of Her Majesty's
judges, and the wearing of theermine’ has almost cloaked
: out of recollection the erstwhile altainments of this re.
markable man. Asa judge, he has upheld the dignity and
intelligence of the English judiciary ; his decisions ing
noted both for their.lucidity and their exact justice. His
osition on the bench was almost unique—certainly so in
his own generation. A glance backward into the mists of
history revenln to the mental vision but two figures who |
may be called his peers—Bacon and Brougham. The com-
patability of the legal with scientific ability is in England
80 rare that Justice Grove forms one of a trio of ‘* Admir-
able Crichtons” since Queen Elizabeth's time. His “Correl-
ation of Forces” will live ; his battery may be forgotten,
Indeed, its especial province is already in the laboratory,
although it is not so very long since it formed a potent fac-
tor in the business of telegraphy. .
About a score of years ago, when General Eckert first be-
came prominently connected with the Western Union Tel-
egraph Company, the Grove cell was still looked upon with
favor, Ifmy-memory serves me well, one of the General’s
initial efforts toward improving the then cxisting. state of
things was to replace the Bunsen or carbon battery. at sev-
- eral of his principal stations with the Grove. -This was cer-
tainly the case in Boaton, and great wero the rejoicings in
the. main offite, at.88 State street, when it was found that
the old rusty wires on the Springfleld route could be worked
by the aid of this potent generator direct to New York on
a rainy day; that is, without the aid of. the ‘customary
“repeater” at Springfield. “Tho battery-man, however,
suffered. _ The fumes and theshocksand the finger-ecalding
and clothes-destroying properties of the nitric and sulphuric
acids in which it was his daily task to dabble,paralyzed him,
_ ‘THE ELECTRIC AGE. . 8
But the battery-man was in the garrot all alone, and hi
murmurs, hia curses perhaps, went out with the fumes
through the skylight, while the operators thumped merrily
away, full of enjoyment at the feeling that they had a force
at their fingers’ ends which could ‘get there” in all weathers,
Besides, they had noend of fun with the new battery,
Edison, who wag then one of us, amused himself by the hour-
(at night of course) making miniature electric lights of the
graphite cores of lead- pencils, and killing bugs with cun-
ningly devised layers of tin foil pasted on the walls, Who
knows but the Grove battery in this instance alone fulfilled
its mission, kindling a spark in the embryo electrician,
which has since guided him to fame and wealth,
Perhaps Edison has forgotten the Grove battery at Boston,
but an occasion suggests itself to me which he must remem-
ber, when sixty little cells saved tho day for him and eventu- |
ally led up to changes as radical as they are true in tho hia-
tory of the telegraph in England, In 1873 Edison and I exhibit
ed a somewhat new form of automatic telegraph on the Lon-
don and Liverpool wires. Five hundred words a minute
had been promised, but with the post office form of Daniell
cell, then in use, it was found that only 860 words per min-
ute were possible. Suddenly Edison bethought himeelf of
a Grove, begged to be allowed its use, received permission
‘after many protests, and with it reached a speed of 700
words per minute, The difference in the generator
jumped him from comparative (failure to phenoménal
success,
The Post office people never adopted Edison's system, but
they were notslow to take advantage of what they saw.
All théir high speed machines are to-day worked with a
battery whose properties approach the Grove as nearly as
possible, and the era-which haa culminated in a 600 word
- speed between London and Dublin began when Edison hor-
rified the government officials with tho suggestion of a
Grove battery for automatic working.
Meanwhile, Sir William Grove wore his wig and meted
out justice with serenity, never thinking or caring, per-
haps, of the fate of the powerful little element which the
efforts of his younger days had put forth, Onca during
the trial of a notorious coiner before the learned judge an
amusing incident occurred, The constable in charge of
the case was being examined by. the counsel for the prose-
cution who asked him whether he had searched the prison-
ers’ lodgings and, if.so, what he found there.
“Yes, I searched them,” was the reply ; but I found
nothing there except one of them plaguey Grove’s bat-
teries. :
The author of the ‘ Correlation of Forces” smiled be-
nignly at the witness and showed no sign of being dis--
pleased at the irreveront manner in which the policeman
ad spoken of the famous voltaic battery, The coiner was
convicted and received a severe sentence, and if that gen-
tleman was acquainted with Sir William Grove's position
in the world of science he doubtless considered that he had
received very-shabby treatment from a fellow worker, who,
moreover, had been guilty of the grossest ingratitude in
thus injuring a scientific follower, :
Latterly Justice Grove has become somewhat deaf and his
resignation was no doubt caused by a conviction that hav-
ing fulfilled his mission he was entitled to that rest which
is sweet in the evening of life. The elbow-room civilization
of America produces. men of varied attainments but in
crowded England, where the struggle for life is keen nnd
advancement is slow, one can hardly hope to hear of
another Justice Grove. ae

You are doubtless aware that there is annually formed at this
Corpeds Station
Dear Sir:-
Station a class of Naval officers of various grades for instruction in
Torpedo Work ete.
From small electrical beginningg, touching the use of the galvanic cur-
rent in firing torpedoes, this course has gradually increased its scope
until it now includes practically all of the applications of electricity
to the purposes of the Naval Service.
In the hope of making it as complete as the period: at our disposal
permits, I am led to ask you to come to Newport at any time during the
months of June and duly and talk to these officers for an hour or two on
ithe Subject of the incandescent lamp.
| The whole field being very wide, I am asking Professor Bell for a talk
about telephones, Mr. Sprague for one about electric motors and Prof. flihn
Thomson for one about dynamos or electric distribution.
I trust sincerely that my effort to increase the value of the instruction
here by enlisting the aid of the highest authorities on electrical sicence
will meet with encouragement from you and your distinguished colleagnes
mentioned above,
If you think well of the scheme please come to Newport on any day of the
term most convenient to you. I will of course pay your travelling expenses.
Bring Mrs. Edison with you amd be my guests during your stay here,
Although entirely immateriad to mey I think your vistt might prove most
agreable if you came some Friday and remained here till Monday.
Should you prefer to discuss this matter before giving a definite answer
I will come to New York for the purpose,
I am of course aware of your reluctance to appear as a lecturer, but I hope
this reluctance may be overcome in this case. Should it however be insuperable
T beg you will kindly nominate a person to speak in your stead.
Hoping for an early and a favorable response I am
Your very truly.

My dear Edison:-
I. went urner this morning to sec a pair
of Horses, which I think woul suit you for style and size. We
a were so favorably impressed by them that we ought them, They are
not the ere you asked me to get for you. ‘They are a very pretty
dapple-grey, perfectly matched, not so large and heavy as your pre-
sent horses, and after we have had them here a wecok or two, and
groomed thera up well, they will have a very presentable appearance.
If the color will suit you I will send them dovm to you and take
your present pair of horses in their place. It will not involve
any expenditure on your part, and if you do not like eis pair I uxn
send you, you can send them back again, as I shall be very glad to
take them myself at the price that I have paid for them, namely
#475 200. I am confident that I could sell them for a. thousand
dollars before I get through. Please let me hear from you. about
this,
Yours very traly,

My Dear Edison:- S
I enclose herewith another sample of the work done on
the Moore typewriter and a newspaper description of a gelatine
process of printing. Moore thinks that with this gelatine process
somewhat improved, printing can be done without the use of type,
prepar‘ng the origtnid copy on his tvaewitws and using the gela-
as process to print from.
Moore is exceedingly anxious to. enter into some busi-
ness arrangement with us. Maguire is urging ‘me to come over and
see the machine and make sane preliminary talk in regard to some
2
working arrangement. Do you think it worth while?
Yours very truly,

I herewith enclose you a le Ne from fae
Frazar regarding lies TWADARE, who has been at the nao wi Works
for some time nage I think that it is a mistake to al lov
te Japanese to come into any of our concerns,as they have
absolutely no conception of business moralitys After re~
eciving instructions from the Edison Companies, they will not
hesitate a moment to use it against the Fdison Companies interests.
Mr.Frazar has asked,for the past year end a half, that
the Japanese be kept out of the Edison concerns,as he felt cer~
tain that they would use their information against him,and against

My dear Ur. Edison:
A few days since I received a cable oie sag: partner in Yoko-
hama reading as toliowa: "Edison! 8 Japenese Iwadare has contracted
for, Westinghouse plant, Osaka (Japan). *
. I at once ‘telegraphed this to Mr. Insull, as Mrs ‘Iwadare is
still in New York, going about from place to place, getting prices
of engines, boilers, ‘aynanos, and all electrical Meuives: prepar-
atory to going to ‘Japans Mr. Peck from my office has seen Mr.
Iwadare a few days ago and he tells him that he has as good as
arranged to take an engine from a firm in Rochester, only weaning
further a boilere ENA GORA TT he has arranged for his dynamo, lamps
and fixtures with some other condemn, probably ‘the Hees inenoues,
as cabled ‘from Japan. .
‘This shows that the Japanese cannot be at all depended upon;
that after getting schooling in your establishments they are ex-
pected to turn out Edison disciples, but that, on the contrary,
' they are bound to make use of sll information they can get and take
just such peed as will suit their own purpose bests I am still of a
the ‘opinion that yon would do wont to allow no Jopenese to enter
your employ. ‘Far better that ‘they should be referied to me, and *
will put before then the great advantages of the Edison system from
begiming ‘to ende In this I an quite sure we are in accord, as
“shown by your late letter: “to mee

does not discharge the Japanese owt in his employ. He told me on
Sunday that he would discharre him, provided I broupht him >
proof that Iwardare had gone back on us. I made the sugye stion to
Mr, Edison for his own potierid, It is of no advantage to us one
wey or the other wiether he discharges him or not, and I have not
the time to hunt around New York to get the proof, The fact that
Frazar informs me that Iwardare has bought a Viestinghouse Plant,
and is going out to Japan in their interest, is to my mind quite
sufficient. I an confident that lr. Fdison makes a grievous mis-
take in not discharging the Japanese he has now working for him.

My dear sir:--
Referring to your letter to me of June 20th. in reference to
the inquiry from Paris about the iidison System, I beg to Suggest that if you could
have Mr. Krusie make a detailed description of the system and send the game to me
I will then have a report made out of the working of the system in use by. this Co.
in New York, which is giving good satisfaction. If you could send me a small sample
of the cable i would send it along with the report. = =
‘Il think ir. Krusie’s report as to the kind and character of the
cable would ba more satisfactory than if it were made out by te.
I am sorry to trouble you but I think that a report as suggested
above would be more satisfactory to the French peoble. .
Awaiting your reply, I an,

Dear Sir;~ S gw CWWW a.
Among twenty patents issued to me
and as many more allowed or pending,t¥here are two containing
respectively the claims below, which are being considered by anoth’
er party at present. I have already sold two of my patents
and the inventions are in daily use. I am not in a position to
make you an offer, but an offer from you will receive cons idera~
tion. If you think the claims are desirable to possess, and if
your offer ( which may be in stock of the parent Edison Co/, and
preferably a little cash in addition ) is encouraging, I may be
able to so manage affairs that you may have them. I want it dis«
tinetly understood that I do not promise you to sell them to you
at any figure. But if I could know at once your figure, I could
possibly and probably be able to remove a certain restraint now
binding me to another party, . This other party have certain op-
tions for a certain period, pnd, heye, gyphatically reported that
they at once want the*patenty, “bu that the optional price set upnzt
them two years ago is too high. This option on these particaular
patents expires shortly, , so that if you could at once make me
an offer, good until October 11th 1888,and if it were above the i
optional figure you can sce how and in what direction I would be i
in-clined in settling upon a price with the other party. ;
I have no other patents just at present ina
similar hurry, but will have in the course of a few months.
I put the claims, and remarks upon another
shect, accompanying this. I may-add that I did for over a year
test the inventions and found them operative . If you look at the
patents you will notice that they are merely the foundation for the-
claims, :

Dear Mr. Upton: -- , ‘
In regard to the M.Se of ayia of Electricity, which is
in Mr. Edison’s hands, I would state that Messrs. perm aees &.
Co. will probably desire to print this in their journal beforeh
the announcement of their course of lectures, ‘This course
of lectures is intended for their fall business, and inasmuch
as the journal is printed several weeks before its publication,
a
ble.
I should like to send them my M.S. as soon as possi
x am sensible that Mr. Edison and yourself have done
me no small favor in taking the act ive “interest th at both you
and he have exhibited, and I feel backward in trying to hurry
either him or you, but it would assist ‘ne materially, if any-
thing eeidbe done to expedite the matter without inconvenience
to Mr. Edison or yourself.
Yours very truly,

Dear Sir:-- ’
Mre Kennelly went through the MS.. with me on Saturday
afternoon, and made a few changes in accordance with Mr.
Edison’s suggestions. Mr. Kennelly will see Mr. Edison on the
matter when he returns. I have left the MS. with Mr. Kennelly
and he says he will hand it to you when Mr. Edison returns.
. ve
When Mr. Edison has approved it and written the endorsement
you spoke of in your last letter, would: you kindly take the
trouble to return it: to me as early as possible, as the time...
is passing rapidly and I want to get it into the hands of the’
publishers so that it may appear in the Fall.
Yours truly,

He is considered to be a very clever inan
in this country, and T believe is thought a great deal
of in the States, on account of his advoecasy of ances~
thaeties, in tact I think one of the States in Phila-
delphia is named after hinm,T thought you would not
INind me giving him an introduction to you, as, if T
cant have the pleasure of secing you myselz, the next
best thing is to hear all about you from others,
T hope it wont be long bezore we do some -
bling really and truly Edison in thas country in the Wa
way Of @leetrigal staésion dighting , and trusting you

My Dear Tate,
Your favor of the 6th inst Be hand. ‘Mr. ©. J. Hub-~
bell had no authority fran us to draw on you, and while we are on
that subject, he is certainly injuring our business by borrowing
money in all directions. He visited Catskill for the purpose of
altitude, we believe, and states he has fair prospects of closing a
central station, and then ht visited Saratoga for the same reason.
I think he is rossessed of considerable talent if it could be
used in the right direction, but he certainly rresumes on his ac-
quaintence with Mr. Edison. I am quite sure he would make a very
valuable a gent if he could be held in check, but I know of ae
_ rein sufficimtly strong to hold him down to business.
He atten tea to’ borrow money from Mr. Keimer and succeeded, ‘
also from Mr. Edison and Mr. Peovilnp: He tried to get sone hoi
Mr. Willard md Mr. Johnson and also asked me to loan him $150.
He got money from the hotel at Batskill and gave an order to the
Catskill ‘ransportation Company on us. Now he attempts to get it
from you, these we know of. I think it would be only fair to mul- : ;
tiply these by three in order to arrive at the number we do not i
4
know of.

I was verv sorry not to have met you yesterday, but had
to return on the 2,07 train. Two or three ave ago I was informed
that there was to be a change made at No. 65 Fifth Avenue; that
the gentleman in charge of matters there was going to the factory
at Schednectady, I called on Mr, Johnson to ascertain if there
was any chance for me-~as you will reédadedt we had considerable
‘talk about this matter last Tall. He informed me that he did not
know much about it, but advised me to see you at onee, If there is
any truth in the report I should be pleased to e¢all on you aN
talk the matter over,
Please let me hear from you by return of mail,
Yours very truly,

Will you please give me your opinion as to the very beet form of
what ‘is known-‘in America as the Domestic Telegraph System or ‘Automatic Bignal
Boxes?. If there is something similar to this of your ‘own, :I should-feel much
Obliged-if you would send'me-a sample-in the next shipment:of Phonograph material
‘you are sending me.:°I should be glad to ‘have a‘pair-of such ‘instruments’ with
‘full particulars ‘regarding price etc, at:which they could be furnished'in large
quantities, °
I have determined: to-inaugurate a similar:call system'in London; in!
advance ‘of; and-in connection with, the introduction: of the Phonographzin the
belief that with the beautifully’ paved streets Of London and the ‘other Gities
of Europe, the thing would: sure to be’ an unqualified success, Of course I am
Working on the assumption, and‘indeed the certainty; of -you" producing & portable
Phonograph, and when that-is :complete-I-am to-have a”Phonogram Exprees Service”
in connection therewith; having -untforn@seteyeres-messengers “on: tricycles, each
tricycle carrying a flag ‘indicating: the: service, This'is-in my opinion a splendid
thing, and which only needs putting -in ‘operation: to- pay’ well, and will at the same
time be-a constant and splendid: advertisement: to the Phonograph. Please give the
‘matter your consideration, and any advice -from:you would’be-'of the greatest
assistance, Once the thing is-started: and developed-in London; it will. be adopted
‘by more than: half the Cities in Europe. ,

My Dear Edison:
Ex-Gove Chamberlain and I were clas gnates at
Yale. Sinee then we were for a time lav partners. He has kept
up his Greek studies,but I have note He even writes and tallks
both modern and ancient Greck. I put your question to him by
letter,and here is his answer. What he.means by my "eritichsm
on Motograph" is that I said it was a combination of a Latin woud
and a Greek word,and perhaps objectionable for that reason.
Lewis has studied up the subject more thoroughly ,ant
will write you his conelusions by early mail. :
Hopings you will find these suggestions of sane aid,and
awaiting your further canmands, I remain,
Sincerely yours,
=e

$205. I believe now that we are on a solid basis in Sunbury and
that from this time on we will be able to show fair profits. Wil~
liamsport in making net from 12 to $1300. per month, but Lancaster
hae-deime bugs in it, that I have not yet been able to find, our
expenses are out of proportion with the receipts, I am however
pushing it and of course expect to succeed. With kind regards to

SCIENCE TO THE RESQUE OF ART.
When a brillant Lowell Institute audienco Inst
Saturday ovening burat {nto constantly inorens-
ing apptause, ag the consvontive phases of n high
leap by arcelobrated hunting mare ware projected,
tho size of Hite, on ascreen and tucidly explained
by Mr. Muybridgo, somo present felt that at Inst
tho way scoms opening for modern art to add
something to alassic art, It ia now more than ten
yoarsalnce Mr. Muybeldge first astonished the
world with his—at that ttmo—marvellous sorios of
the conseautive phascs of representative horsos,
while trotting and galloplag. The anatomist, tho
Physlologist and the blologist wore prompt to see
that a new Hold aud a now light had bean oponod
to their researches, and tho artist and art critto,
after somo perfunctory resistance, not always
fractoualy uttered, recognized the ond of an old
and tho beginning of anaw cra. ‘Thole trat Pproju-
dices conquered, they saw tho enormous asals
ance rendered to them in thelr studios of im-
pressions of animal movements,
Ie almost invariably happens that the
value of a now dlscovery in sclenco or
& new doparturo fn art {8 most freoly
admitted by tho foremost mon in tho profession
affected, white the rank and filo are “kicking.
It is not thorofore surprising that Melssonter was
the first ainong artists to acknowledge the im
menso beuelit the photographic analyais of animal
lecomotion would bo to the art studeut, If he
know how to ava!l himselfof ita use. Ho lectured
tohls brother artists in Paris, with Mr. Muy-
bridgo'a photographs, and prophesied thatthe
conventlonal representation of horses, whether
walking or galloping, was nearing ita end, and
thatastudy of dotails, resulting as it docs in
altered impressions, would effect a change oven
in the opinion of the Intelligent observer as to the
Proper oxpression of motion. “As for mo,” ha
sald, “Iintend to rostudy a subject to which I
have devoted go many years of my life with tho
assistance of tho now powor." Noarly evory
prominent artist in Parla was presont at this leo
ture, and tho effet of the tnvostigation
by Mr. Muybridge is clearly demonstrated
in thelr recount works, Tho author of
this new system of analysis was accorded
a no less gratifying recoption tn London.
Ina paper read by him before the Royal Sooloty
ho first gave tho world, as ft has just been re
stated in these lectures, 9 correct knowledge of
tho sequence and Intervals of tho foot-fallings of a
horse whon engaged fo bis various methods of lo-
comotion. At tho invitatton of Sir Froderick
Leighton, the president, ho leotured at tho Royal
Acadeniy of Arts bofore the academicians and as-
soclates, and similar leotures wero given at the
Kenslugton art and sclonco schoots by invitation
of tho Counoll of Education, at tho Royal Institue
tlon, the Soalety of Arts, and many other similar
Institutions,
Upon his return to the United States the Uni-
voralty of Pennsylvania, distinguished alike for
its advanced ideas and for its ability to turn out
soholars that bavo brought {t to the front rank of
educational {natitutions, Impressed with tho
xrowing importance of tho anbjoot, determined
upon an oxhaustive investigation of the subject
of an!mal locomotion. With this object, new appa-
ratus was doviged for tho purposoof photographing
tho consecutive phases of mution, not merely from
one, but simultancously from two and from threo
polnts of view, permitting an ocaam!nation of tho
Yarlous phases of a latoral motion, synchronously
with tho osviliation of the body; and tho noldten-
tal mugoular action as scen from tho side, front
and rear. Fivo yoars woro upromittingly devoted
by Muybridge to this labor, which tnvolved an ox+
ponditure of no less than thirty-dvo thousantt dol+
lara. Tho results of this important investigation
are soen in that remarkable aud elaborate work
whioh {8 on exhivition at the Natural History Mu-
soum in this city, and duplicates of which sovoral
lovers of art in tho city are tho fortunate possessora
of,
In regard to tha necessity of studying the detalls
of animal movemont in their consecutive phases,
Mr, Muybrldgo tteolared In the conctuding lecture
that the art of realizing a correct impreaston of
what wo see fs entirely a matter of education
Numerous instances aro related of some tribes of
men (of which one camounter bis own observa-
ton) boing utterly incapable of recognizing the
most realistia of art represontations. In the trang
notiona of the London Ethnotogical Society it is
recorded by Olditold that, of a dozon Australiun
aboriginals, not one could sce that a large colored
engraving of ono of thelr tribe bore any resom-
blanco to what it represented, Ono sald it was a
Moture of aship; another of a kangaroo, and 80
on; but not ono of them auspactad tt was as per-
fect a fno-sienile of one of hia own pouple na could
be reproduced on papor, Has the modern artiat,
tho lecturor asked, been in the habit of going to
Nature for his indopendent impreastons of speed
agacon tn the galloping horace? Or did tho pro-
fesston in a congress of thomselves agreo to adopt
acertain type which not a single observing man
among them over fancled the combined sorics of
phages impressed him as resembling? Tho artist,
no less than tho orltio or the lover of are, will do
woll to ponder over the advico of Melssonier to
carefully study the dotails of movoment, and
aftor mastering tho succession of phases, to zo to
Nature and sce what a changed impression ho
will have of her.
Itis much to bo regrotted that thts course of
lectures by Mr. Muybridge did not contomplate
the uso of any of tho magniflcent sertes of illus.
tration of tho human figure which his investiga-
tion inoladed. In hls work on animal Jocomotion
the various phases of motion by men, women and
children number many thousands, and the actions
of base-ball playing, rowing, wrestling, boxing,
fencing, walking, running, jumping, dancing,
6to,, as woll ag of tho movements tncldental to tha
work ot tho artiaan and the taboror, are domon-
Btratod with an oxactness thatis as surprising as
tho actiona are comprehonsive, For some of
theso to have been projected the size of Hfo on the
sorcen, with thotrauccesive phases of the actionof
the muscles as starting froma conditiun of repose,
thoy zo through tho varioua stages that culmi-
nate in some action more or eas violent and again
relapse Into a state of reat, au oxhibition could
bo given which Raphael, Tintoretto, Michael
Angelo and otter groat masters of tho Renais-
sanco would havo travelled all over Europe to
BOC,
We cannot rofrain from oxprosaing tho up!nion
that the thanks of all lovers of art, 10 less than
oftho artiat and the solontist, are dua to the
Untveralty of Pennsytvania for putting Into tholr
hands the means of studying the facts of animal
movemonts, and with a knowledge of these facta
of realizing distinot and faithful {mpresstons of
motions chat have hithorte been clouded with so
Tiuch doubt and uncertatnty. Tho influence

ANIMAL LOCOMOTION.
AN ELECTRO-PHOTOGRAPHIC INVESTIGATION OF CONSECUTIVE PHASES OF
ANIMAL MOVEMENTS,
BY EADWEARD MUYBRIDGE.
1872—1885,
. PUBLISHED UNDER THE AUSPICES OF
THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA,
Exolusivoly by Subscription. 7
The investigation of which this elaborate work is the result was undertaken by the i
University of Pennsylvania in response to the requests of a large number of the best-
known Art Connoisseurs, Artists, and Scientists, and of many of the most celebrated
institutions of Art, Science, and Learning in the United States.
The work in its completeness comprises SEVEN HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-ONE PLATES,
containing more than 20,000 figures of Men, Women, and Children, Animals, and Birds,
all actively engaged in walking, galloping, flying, working, jumping, fighting, dancing,
playing at base-ball, cricket, and other athletic games, or other actions incidental to
every-day life, which illustrate motion or the play of muscles,
Each plate illustrates the successive phases of a single action, photographed with i
automatic electro-photographic apparatus consecutively from one point of view; or, con» {
{
{
{
secutively AND synchronously from two, or from three points of view, and is complete in
itself—without reference to any other plate.
Printed in permanent ink, by the Photo-Gravure Company, on heavy plate paper;
size, 19x24 inches, Average area of printed surface, 108 square inches, Average |
number of figures on each plate, 26, |
The whole series constitutes 2 work which in magnitude, beauty of execution, and
general interest is unsurpassed by any work ever issued in Europe or the United States, {
Bound in eleven volumes, full Russia leather, or in cight full Russia portfolios, at
the subscription price of Six Hunprep DoLLars, . 4
Subscriptions are also taken for a series of ONE HUNDRED PLATES, q
‘These plates may be selected by the subscriber from the catalogue; or, if the sub-
scriber will indicate the number of plates required of each class of subjects, the author
will make a selection which, in his judgment, are the best illustrations of those sub-
jects, ° {
The Ong Hunprep selected plates will perhaps meet the ordinary requirements : '
of the Art Connoisseur, and are sent in a full Russia leather portfolio, at a subscription mat
price of One Huxprep Dotars,
Specimen impressions of the entire series of the plates have been deposited in
Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Washington, Chicago, and Cincinnati, where they are
accessible to those subscribers who prefer to make a personal selection from the subjects
i illustrated, .
an With regard to the selection of the plates, however, it is found by experience that
the subscriber will do well to give the author general instructions 3 to the class of
subjects preferred, and to leave the specific selection for a representative serics to him.
. Additional plates—beyond the 100 subscribed for—can be obtained by subscribers
ia at the same proportionate rate as the subscription plates, ;
‘The following arc the numbers of plates published of each class of subjects, from:
which the subscriber's selection can be made, :

This work is the only basis of accurate criticism of the movements incidental to
life as depicted in art designs; it is the acknowledged source of all information regard-
ing animal movements, and the final result of more than fifty thousand dollars expen-
diture under the author's direction since the date of his original experiments in 1872,
The work is regarded by the most competent judges to be absolutely indispensable
for the proper instruction of the student in the higher branches of Art and Natural
History.
Perhaps no more emphatic testimony of its interest and value to all Joyers of art—
equally with the artist and scientist—can be offered than by subjoining the names of
some of the subscribers, ‘These include a large number of the best-known and most
eminent men and many of the most famous Institutions of Art, Science, and Learning in
the United States,
Upon receipt of subscription price the work will be forwarded free of express
charges to any city of the United States; or it can be sent by express, collect on
delivery, with express charges added,
A prospectus of “ Animal Locomotion" and descriptive catalogue will, upon appli-
cation, he mailed free of expense to any part of the world. Address all communica-
tions and remittances to

‘Dear Edison: ;
. “Edison and His Works." ;
I have made an arrangement with Prof. Barrett, by which he un-
dertakes tq edit the scientific portion of the above, and I hope you will
supplement our efforts by promp$ly sending me everything which you have
which will contribute ‘to a successful issue of so interesting.a publica-
tiene Will you please wend me whatever you have which may have been writ-
ten by others, as shown by the newspaper extracts referring to your lifes
which, after: collating, I will hola subject to your order. Also please
send me bound copy of your American patents; I shall give a summary of
these, with dates and details. We want the book to be profuse in illus-
trations, and: it is desirable that these should include whatever we can
contribute of interest under all heads, so,please send me complete photo=
graphic views of Meno. Fark, tho sand of youi" carly Works, “of your home
and birth place if you have it,=if hot, deséribs it ‘toaame die wi Gan”
sketch it near enough for our purpose,-as many views of your present beaut-
iful home and grounds as possible, views of the exterior and interior of
your new laboratory and works, also interior and exterior views of your
lamp factory anda Sotengotady works,» From, many of these I shall have
photographs taken on glass for use with magic lanterns for illustrating
lectures, which I will arrange to gave given in’all countries with which
I am concerned, et the views of Llewellyn Park include that beautiful
valley through which Mrss Edison drove me. One morninge ‘I must ask you also
to surreptitiously obtain a photograph of Mrs. Edison, which, ‘out of too
much modesty she refused to give me when I. was there. Please get
good Photographic views of the interior and exterior of your great central
: station, good views of seme of your most important machinery, such as your
first dynamo and ‘your last, showing the progress. Anything which you
or’ your able Assistants ean do to facilitate this matter, will be gratefully
receiveds- I would also like good portraits of your most valuable asso-
eiates, ‘such ds Bd¢nelor, Johnson, Upton, Irisel, &ce these ‘views Will be

is to get it all done as quickly as possible, as I want to bring the
work out as the first book printed under such interesting cireumstances~~
from the phonograph's dictation. Dwyer Gray, one of the Home Rule leaders,
and the owner of one of the principal papers, the “Freeman's Journal, * is
chairman of a self-setting sype machine which he is anxious to have do the
printing of this book from the phonograph. . He is the man, whom you will -
remember, Who had the courage and ability to take issue with the Postmaster
General in the House of Parliament, which resulted in compelling the Post-
Master General to femove the resrictions on the telephone. He is a first-
rate fellow, and while I of course see that giving his machine the eclat of
printing the book will place him under obligations to us, I nevertheless see,
as you will, that we will get sort of a quid’ guo quo.

‘for them; hence it is an open question. The only way out of it) 9.

My dear Mr. &dison:~
How about those experiments with music-
al instruments? And where is my phonograph?
I told The Eve pant Post men that I was going to
let them try bhat phonograph the Ist of eg
1888. Unless I have m other article very soon
reporting progress, they will think that the : ‘
phonograph is a rayth.
Be sure to let me know when you are
ready for a good final test, and I will run
out to Orange. Telegraph me the day before,
if you can.

Dear Mr. Edison: PP Crop lots
We would very much like to take up at once the matter t
————
of your Laboratory and illustrate me describe jt thoroughly, com-
rehensively and graphically ih the Electrical eview. To do this
le it should be done, so that the inhabitants of this great, globe
may have a just, conception of the magnificent monument your genius
and efforts have produced, I think we should have photographs taken
in the Power and Dynamo Rooms, Supply Rooms , Library, Lecture Room,
Experimental Rooms generally and Chemical and other de partmentsand
and one or two outside views. T would come out with our Mr. Me-
Tighe, and with the intelligent aid of Mr; Kennelly think we could
prepare an article to accompany the illustrations +hat would be
highly creditable from a literary and electrical, or any other,
stmadpoint. We could duplicate and send to "London Engineering"
as before. ,
This would be, to carry it out as I nov conceive, a great
undertaking, of intcvest and value to all Concerned, and we will
gladly give our time to it and bear all expenses connected with it
other than the bare cost of the cubs. They weuld foot up pro~
bably, if made first class in every respect and in the number that
I think they should be, fran $150.00 to $250.00
Gan we not call and see you ab an early day and start this
matter?
Very respectfully yours,

Dear Sir:
Shall we call for the photographs of the laboratory?
Can put our best wood engraver on the work at once, if you are
ready.
You will remember our former letter in which was stated our.
intention of making the description and illustration in every way
worthy of the man whose genius we shall sincerely attempt to honor.

IY have not received any photographs in accordance with ,
your letter of the Rist inst., promiseing them * to-morrow my .
The Harper's Weekly goes to press to-morrow and owing to your fail-~
ure to do as you wrote, as I relied upon you to do, I am unable to
give them the views they Wants They do very artistic work and do
not care to use any views which have already been published by the
other papers. Itwas for this reason and on account of the value of
an article in that paper that I asked qe for original views.
Iwas given two photographs by your New York Office but
they were not satisfactory as they had been published by almost
everybody.
I have written to hte twice and telegraphed once but have
not received the photogvapha, Why is this ?
Can you send them by special messenger toundehen Tuesday

Dear Sir:
Your favor of “ay 29th just received.
I think the photographs. you mention will answer very well,
and T hope. you will send them in at once so we can get started on
them. I do not rémember how complete the photographs are in ths
direction of covering all the many interesting departemnts of the
Laboratory. There should be 7 think, a photograph of the Power
Plant and the Dynamo Room. I mention these because I do not
remember seeing them in the photographs at the Club.
I shall endeavor to reach you over the telephone to-day, and
request you to forward the photographs. ‘Tt will probably
take two or three weeks to get the cuts in good style, and some
day during that time after arranging with you,our Mr.Mc Tighe and
myselz will come out and get all the points connected with the
Laboratory so as to be able to publish a description that will
thunder down the ages.

Mr, Edison,-
In reference to the attached, Messrs,
Seeger and Guemsey are issuing an Fneyclopaedia of the Manu-
factures and Products of the United States. They want from
you an article on the late advances made in electrical science.
This could be written if yo desire. It should deal with the
donee’. progress of electrical matters, and need not refer
specifically to your ow inventions, I mention this, because
they want the article to appear above your signature,

Dear Sir : =
In reply to your favor of 16th instant, I would say .
Mr. Lyon in his letter does not ask five hundred francs
for threa subsequent years; he merely invites Mr. Edison to
become an honorary member,
But, in his circular No. 1, he asks from every member
the above mentioned contributdon; therefore in my opinion he
expects the same contribution from Mr, EBdison in case he should
accept the Homorary Presidency.
| This sum is not to be paid as a tax, but simply a5 8
én tribution to insure the success,
The idea ig, that it would not be polite to request so
great a man as Mr, Edison to pay the regular fee of membership
like an ordinary individual, but, they arrange to accomplish the
same thing by having him xe contribute as a free will offering the
exact amount that ordinary individuals have to pay as a 2883
In short : to answer your question briefly : Mr. Edisen
must send them a check ee five hundred francs to become one of the
Honorary Presidents,

Dear Sir:
Will you kindly oblige
the Board of Trustees by sending them
your residence or office address for
use in a new edition of the

You will see the tmportance of com-
plying with this request at as early a
date as possible, as there has been. no

1888, and within the past five years
more than one hundred new menrbers
have been added to the roll. DLhere
are thirty members who give the
“Club” for their address, which gires
an unsettled trference.’
W. G. McLAUGHLIN,

A WORD FROM THE DINNER COMMITTEE.
Members desiring tickets, especially those having
invited guests, should apply before the table diagram is
completed. When the sittings have been satisfactorily
arranged, your Committee can guarantee an enjoyable
affair, one that will be first-class in every respect. In-
asmuch as this will be the first absolutely Journalistic

neither honor,or credit from the company you are ine
It is often said,that the Edison Company is only suing

that the Public are free to choose,and buy,where they wills Your

Neor Sir:
Your favor of 15th inst. in regard to the circular on
Distribution of Lights is reeeived. I heve sent copies of this
list to the forcign companies. It is quite singular thot we have
no answeres from eny of our egents or others as yet. I had ex-
pected to have heard from them before this,
The mecting lest night was eo very suecessful one indeed;
I think one of the best we heve hed. We had 26 present, and all
of them seemed to think very highly of Mr. Howell's able end in-
structive paper end diagrams. Iam sure everyone learned some-
thing on the subject which most of us are unfortunately ignorant
of.
/ The warm weather will soon be comings on, and, I suppose, !
it will be diffieult to get people hore after July ist. If we
were to discontinue for the summor months this would give us three
more meetings before July 1st. 4s the meetings of the Associa-
tion have been very populer, and hove created a great deal of in-
terest in the business, I think the whole thing would be helped
alonys if we could get Lr. Edison to invite the Junior Ecison Asso«
ciation ont to his laburatory some night, and heve Mr. Ratchelor
and others give us e short talk on some of the interesting points
of the system, and, perhaps, Mr. .Edison might himself sey o Low
: words. This, I think, would cement wopether the friendly feel-
ingsexisting emong meny of our people, and would help along vory
considerably, and would be thought very well of by many of those
who now cttend the Junior FRdison Association's meetings,
If you think well of this idea, would you underteke to
ask Mr. Edison if he will accede?
: Yours very truly,

Dear Mr. Fdison: A
The attendance at Mr. Kennelly's lecture at your
laboratory on Oct. eAth., is sufficient evidence of the interest
with which the occasion was reparded by the Society, to which it
was a source of much vratification. I have now much pleasure in
proffering you the thanks of the Society for the kind way in which
you opened your lecture room and laboratory for the use and inspec-
tion of the visitors, and thus afforded it such a successful inau-
guration of its course of lectures for the season.
I am, dear Mr. Edison,
Yours truly,

Mr. Thomas A. Edison,
Orange, Ne Ja,
Dear Sir,
I am in receipt of your cordial reply of Dee 5
to my letter of Dec. 1, and will lay it before the Executive Com-
mittee of Arrangements for our New York meeting at its next meet~
ing. At present, I can only say that your generous offer is ac-
cepted with thanks. . Os
There is plenty of time for the perfe cting of detailed ar-
rangement Se All that we needed thus early was the material for
blocking out the general plan of the meetings
The "Edison day" will probably include nothing outside of your
place, except a brief visit to the Spiral Weld Tube Works, near-by;
and that will probably be ;put first, so that we can reach your Lab-
oratory at. the time appointed, with the rest of the day before use
Mr» Re P. Rothwell (Editor of the Engineering and Mining Jour-
nal) will have.charge of the arrangements for papers and discuse
sions at the session, and will communicate with you as to the prob~
able length of your paper, its place in the order of exercises,etc.
Mr. James F. Lewis (Rand Drill Co., 23 Park Place) will have
charge of ‘the department of Excursions, etc.e, connected with the
meeting; and you will hear from him also, in good time. /
_ Your name has been proposed for membership in the Institute;
and I can assure you that you will be unanimously recommended by
the Council and elected by the Institute.

This folder contains correspondence from or about employees and
prospective employees. There are also letters of recommendation in support
of individuals seeking employment. Most of the correspondence relates to
employment requests for the West Orange laboratory. Some documents
pertain to employment at Glenmont and at the various Edison companies.
Approximately 30 percent of the documents have been filmed. Most of
the letters selected for filming received a significant response from Edison.

paeuisaL mechanic, will ‘make him annie valuable to you in oy
a
direction in which a Bavwiedee of the shop is needed e He isa
pood electrician, @ very fair chemist for a novice, and can do most
excellent work in the drawing room . I would sugeces that you keep
hir in sight as one of those who may be wanted fas work of an im- :
FI portant kind in whi oh your own interests are so involved that you
will need a man of his stamp and reliability to represent you °

Ithaca, N. Y., June 26th, 1888,
The bearer, Mr. Edward Calewell, is a graduate of the
advanced course in applied elnetricity ~ electrical engineering-
of Sibley ‘Sollege, Cornell University, and is a man of mature
judgement, great capacity for good work, and thoroughly reliable.
I shall hope for him a very unusual success in his chosen line of
work, He bas done his work hero wit! great diligence, with exenps
tional care and with @ skill that could hardly heve peon expected
MEMOURKXX OY hoped of one who hae not had a Large practical
experience before coming here,
He will, I think, be found a most useful man in any
direction that he may consent to undertake to work or responsibili-
ties. I have come te take much personal interest in him, and
would bespeak for him such courtsies and attentions as may properly
offered so promising a nevice in the prof ession.

, Dear Siri= I have given Mr. Millere Br Kitt a
letter to you asking you if possible to give him a aes in the
Phonograph works which you will no doubt see in good time, I have
always teken a deep interest in. the Brusch and Patterson families,
Mrs, Kitt is a sister of Mrs, rusen and this boy is her eon) Mira
can tell you all about the family so I need not say more about
that, The only fear IT have of this boy is he has a little bit of
high temer as I learn, Otherwise you will find him a good boy,
industrious and ready to work, As I stated in his letter, he is
a nephew of Charlie Brusch whom you know; of course he has not the
same ind of a temperament as Charlie but his brother is now in Ne”
York and doing quite well.
You must not hire these men unless you can use them to advan~
tag ‘ They come to me and of course I do what I dat for them but: !
do not for a moment think you are under ‘any obligations to take
them unless you can use then just as well as anybody, I have
carefully avoided annoying you with any requests of mine, I know
how you are constantly inportuned on every side and heartily sym-

Dear Sir:~ Mr, Millard B, Kitt wished me to
write to you asking you to let him have a place in the Phonograph
Wovks; he has studied electrical engineering somewhat and desires
very much to get into that line of work, ‘He is quite a young man
but the family have all sone into electrical and telegraph work.
He is eee of Charlie Brugch Whom you knoW, who is now at Work :
fos Mr, Gilliland, Wis brother is in New York somewhere and is 4
doing very well indeed, at least so everybody says; I have known
the family all my life. They are all of good stock and I think
are attentive and industrious, T did not know but what among the
additional men you will need fers you might want some persons who |
;
had studied electrical work to start in the wrk, I think he is |
not particular Where he starts or how and yould start in the work |
shop anywhere and run ite chances of wrking up. I will consider
is a personal favor if you can accomodate him, Of course I know
like to help them.

My” dear FIidison:-
My friend Charles Vitrth wrote me to-day that
the firm that he has heen engased with since his return from Paris
is going out of business, owing to the death of the head of the
concern, He writes me that he is open for an engagement, and I
should be very mich pleased if you would make an offer to him.
Should you not he inclined to do this, he (Wurth) is desirous of
representing the Edison Electric Light Company, or Pee other firm
atthe Paris Exhibition, lir. Batchelor can give you any informe-~
tion as repards his ability in this direction, Please favor me
with an eurly reply, and oblige,

“My opinion is that he's no good. My reagm for
saying # is, if you give him anything to do he
will not work continuously at the job until it is
completed, His hands will work in one place and
his eyes in another, In fact, he never seems go
happy as then he has a pipe in his mouth and some-

1888. Edison, T.A.- Employment - Outgoing Correspondence
(D-88-15)
This folder contains copies of outgoing correspondence to or about
employees and prospective employees. Much of the correspondence was typed
by Edison’s office staff, and the documents are similar to the material found
in the Letterbook Series. Most of the letters cover the period January-October
1888 and are responses to inquiries about employment at the West Orange
laboratory. The majority of the letters are by Edison’s private secretary, Alfred
O. Tate. There is also correspondence by Charles Batchelor, superintendent
of the laboratory, and by Charles H. Davids, superintendent of the laboratory’s
mechanical department.
Approximately 30 percent of the documents have been filmed. The
following categories of documents have not been filmed: routine responses to
requests for employment; duplicate copies of selected documents.

Dear Sir;
We have your telegram advising us of important matter
sent to Akron in care of Mr Lewis Miller, and in reply to same
will say, that all such letters as we have received here have been
forwarded promptly to Mr Edison at Chautauqua, for it is now
definitely decided that Mr Edison will not visit Akron at all on
his present trip West, but on the other hand will leave
Chautauqua Saturday for New Yorke:
, We are very sorry, indeed, not to have Nr Edison visit
us here, as we fully expected to do s0, but as all of father's
family are at the Lake, he decided to remain there, and make us an
Akron visit some time in the Winter.
Yours truly,
